• Did you already try to recover your account through the login page? We’ll ask you to try that first if you haven’t yet.

• For your security, we’ll only provide account details to the account holder.

If you have a tax exemption certificate, attach it here. .pdf, .png, .jpeg file formats are accepted.

Use this form to submit a request about exemption from sales tax collected for Squarespace payments.

Enter the details of your request here. If you’re not based in a country or state where we collect taxes, and you believe we shouldn’t collect taxes from you, please explain.

If you have feedback about how we collect sales tax, submit it here.
Your feedback helps make Squarespace better, and we review every request we receive. Please note that we can't reply individually, but we’ll contact you if we need more details.

Please use this form to submit a request regarding a deceased Squarespace customer’s site. Our deepest condolences go out to you and your family during this time, and we appreciate your patience as we work through your request.
Due to privacy concerns and restrictions, we unfortunately can't provide you with administrative control of the site. However, if an immediate family member or legal representative completes the form below, we may be able to grant Billing permissions so the site can remain active or cancel any active subscriptions.
Note that Billing permissions don't include the ability to edit the site's content. You can read more about this here.
A note regarding Squarespace 5 sites:
Squarespace 5, our legacy platform, doesn't allow permissions to be edited. However, we can cancel or remove the site.

Why was my card declined at checkout?

Sections

If you're trying to pay for any Squarespace subscription or service, and your payment was declined, it could be because the payment method is invalid, the billing details were entered incorrectly, or there's an issue with your bank. Use this guide to help troubleshoot your payment issue.

Unaccepted payment method

Invalid card number

If your card number is incorrect, a red warning will display. Check your card number for errors and try again.

Error message: Purchase Error

A pop-up message saying Purchase Error will appear when your bank's authorization request fails. Only banks located in the European Economic Area (EEA) will request you authorize the payment as part of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

You can ensure that your credit card information is correct by clicking Edit Card in the pop-up message. If the credit card information is correct, click Try Again and watch for the authorization request from your bank to complete the purchase.

Error message: Subscription Failed

A message saying Subscription Failed will appear when a charge is denied by the bank. This can happen for two reasons:

Incorrect Information

If the expiration date or CVC code is incorrect, your bank will deny the charge. Correct the information, and the issue should resolve.

Transaction Declined

If your card number, expiration date, and CVC are all correct, then your bank is denying the charge for another reason.

Contact your bank with the date and time you tried to make a charge to either Squarespace Inc. (if you're based in the United States) or Squarespace Ireland Ltd. (if you're outside of the United States). After resolving any issues with your bank, try the payment again.

Note: Due to banking regulations,Squarespace may declinecharges to Verified by Visa, MasterCard with SecureCode, and Maestro cards.

Note: JCB, Discover, and Diners Club cards can only be charged in USD.
